Mary Berry Parmesan Crusted Salmon is a baked salmon dish featuring a crispy herb-Parmesan topping that caramelizes in the oven while the salmon stays tender underneath. The crust is typically made from Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, lemon zest, butter, and herbs. It offers a balance of savory, zesty, and aromatic notes, making it a crowd-pleasing main course that pairs effortlessly with vegetables, salads, and grains.

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (about 150–180g each)

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (about 50g)

  • ½ cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular – about 40g)

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 garlic clove, minced (or ½ teaspoon garlic powder)

  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or dill, finely chopped

  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

  • ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard (optional but recommended)

Instructions

  • Prep the salmon – Pat 4 salmon fillets dry and season lightly with salt, pepper, and a little lemon juice.

  • Make the crust mixture – In a bowl, mix ½ cup Parmesan, ½ cup breadcrumbs, 2 tbsp melted butter, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tbsp chopped parsley, and 1 tsp lemon zest.

  • Spread a thin layer of Dijon – Brush 2 teaspoons of Dijon mustard over the salmon to help the crust adhere.

  • Press the crust onto the fillets – Spoon the Parmesan mixture evenly over the salmon and press gently to form a firm coating.

  • Bake until golden – Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily.

  • Serve immediately – Pair with vegetables, potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
